So, for future reference, if you splice a standard McDonnald Brummel, can you then put the loop through and pass the rest through the loop to attach it without signifigantly weakening the line? (endura)

In the meantime I spliced the brummel passing the 60' of line passing through the middle brummel, with 3 brummels (if that is how one referers to each loop), directly to the T toggle - Navtec-N743-07 T-RING,FITS N740-07 BACK PLT, so I assume this should be fine.

haven't done any load testing here, but in practice I find lines directly spliced to shackles to be more worn or chaffed than lines that are ring hitched (when cover is stripped) so i prefer the latter

I am not sure what you mean about three brummels and the middle one... ?
